Rip Haywire by Dan Thompson for October 13, 2023

Stand on your principles, Romeo. Then later lie on them in the alley.

Her lips are the true goons, Romeo.

Them goons may be less poisonous than her lips, Blondie.

Yeah like the kiss of death!!!

I smell a patsy coming.

The goons-de-la-arc just told Romeo their plan. Why does he assume they would allow him to think about it away from them?

Are we sure Romeo’s name isn’t Clueless? B.B. sounds like she’s promising a lot, but is she really. If Romeo lets that crew do what B.B. says they’ll do, who will she be with when it’s done. Pretty sure it won’t be Romeo.

O Romeo Romeo wherefore art thy Romeo – refuse thy principles and defy your rules. Or if thou wilt not, you’ll be dead meat sooner rather than later.

I don’t trust it even a little. You’ll never make it out of there alive, Romeo!

Don’t get Lippy with me, boy!

Those guys are terrifying.

He needs to bring back Bogie and Marlowe movie. So many dames to kiss, so many crooks to catch.

ka-blond Rip

KA-LOVELY LIPS!

Those threatening goons may not be so threatening when Rip is done with them.

“That leaves me as the only outsider that knows what happened. Isn’t that dangerous?”

I don’t know which is worse: Her comparing her lips to those ugly goons, or him smiling when he says that.
